Carrollton Record:-'Twenty -four car

The useless gas lamp at the old depot still
remains. If the gas committee think 1t
would do no good to remove it to the city
limits, south of the railroad tracks, let it be
placed at the alley on 18th street, opposite

purpose of lighting pedestrians and be a pro-
lection against any attempt at a Jail delivery.

the In%telligencer's Two line squib has gotten
us into trouble. Looks mighty like we went
off too quick. But we can get out fairly well
by saying we never saw anything definite in
the Lexington papers upon which we could
comment or give them a word of encourage
ment. Give us some positive information
and we will say success to you. We believe
and hope. however, that you will get the
Gould extension. Let US know something
to that effect" Well, we do, to-day. 1t
seems pretty certain now that the main line
OF the Missouri Pacific railway will come this
way.
